Ardyn, the Usurper

Not yet bracketed (or genuinely unplaceable).

—

8cmc legendary demon lord with a static that pumps all demons with menace, lifelink, and haste. Starscourge ability exiles a creature card from a graveyard at combat to create a 5/5 demon token copy. Signature in reanimator and graveyard-matters shells that lean demons or heavy creature sacrifice. Lords all demons and generates recurring threats from the graveyard; requires setup and density to shine. Removal magnet as a commanding lord—dies to single removal and loses pump and reanimation engine.
